Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Weather Worksheets
Final Answer:
High pressure: Clear
Low pressure: Cloudy
Front (cold): Rainy, cloudy
Front (warm): Rainy, cloudy
Stationary front: Rainy, cloudy
Hurricanes: Rainy, cloudy
Wind speed and direction: Not listed in table (symbol shows wind barbs — e.g., 10 knots from NW)

Note: Since the worksheet asks to match symbols to conditions using the table, and only the first six rows have defined conditions, the last row (wind speed/direction) is descriptive—not a weather condition—and typically interpreted via wind barbs on maps, not directly from the given table. For standard school-level answers based on the table provided:

- High pressure → Clear
- Low pressure → Cloudy
- Cold front → Rainy, cloudy
- Warm front → Rainy, cloudy
- Stationary front → Rainy, cloudy
- Hurricanes → Rainy, cloudy

The wind symbol row is usually filled with directional info (e.g., “15 knots from the west”) but since no options are given, it’s left blank or described as “wind barbs show speed/direction.” However, per typical worksheet expectations, only the six weather conditions are matched.

So the completed matching is:
1. High pressure → Clear
2. Low pressure → Cloudy
3. Cold front → Rainy, cloudy
4. Warm front → Rainy, cloudy
5. Stationary front → Rainy, cloudy
6. Hurricanes → Rainy, cloudy

(If the worksheet has lines for writing, those are the answers.)
